1. Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic SpaceShipTwo, designed to ultimately carry paying passengers into suborbital space, crashed during a test flight on Friday, killing a pilot. This happened three days after an unmanned Orbital Sciences rocket headed to the International Space Station exploded within seconds of liftoff in Virginia. What do you think?
   
   a) Private industry (like Orbital Sciences and Virgin Atlantic) will redouble their efforts and this will ultimately spur space travel even faster
   b) This will have no effect on space travel
   c) This will slow down space travel

   d) I think that we should leave it up to the individual
